Paleonturology 06 Award [more information]



Again, I have no inside information, but I will add this time that the
organization does have a website:

http://www.fundapolis.org/ 

Some of you might have noticed that the previous announcement referred
to an attachment...  Listproc removed that attachment before bouncing
the message to me, so I don't have access to it.  If you're
interested, I recommend you visit the website.

shortlisted paper has not
be entered by its author, the organisation will propose to him the acceptance 
of the
commitments established in the 7th requirement. In that case he will compete 
for the
award; otherwise, or not replying within two weeks, he will be withdrawn from 
the final
deliberation.
